Pasta Beach in Newport

Lovely Italian restaurant, on Belleview. Food was fantastic (pizza) and very quick to make. Draft beer was good (Peroni) and reasonably priced. Server was a very pleasant lady with a good knowledge of the dishes.

Our food was really good with large portions. The bread was great and the wine was reasonably priced. Service was prompt and friendly. It filled up quick so I recommend reservations.

Stopped in for lunch mid-week with no reservation and surprisingly this restaurant was more crowded than I expected. The decor is beautiful and there is a lovely outdoor dining area in the back. Service was a bit slow and I believe that was because there was only two waitresses working during a busy time. For cocktails we ordered the red sangria and an aperol spritz, both were delicious! Appetizer was the farro salad with grilled shrimp which was light and tasty. For entrees we had the gluten free pasta with clams, we also ordered the pasta with mussels, clams and calamari. The gluten free pasta was very good but the clams were so small they were pretty much illegal. It wasn’t worth trying to pick out the speck of clam that was in the shell. The other pasta dish was good but the mussels weren’t cleaned properly, so it left a lot of sand in the sauce. We really wanted to like this restaurant and still do. I just think we ordered the wrong items. Will definitely give it another chance next time we’re in Newport.

If you want Italian food this place has it! Service is great food is delicious. Can cozy up to the bar or an available table. Reservations highly recommended.

A perfect choice when in Newport for some homemade pasta dishes. Try the Bolognese. All the dishes are fresh and delicious.

A very pleasant place to spend a leisurely lunch. The atmosphere is relaxed. Expect the service to be more of a slower Mediterranean style rather than the more common focus on rapid turnover. The fresh pasta! is homemade and worth the wait.

Drinks were fine (I’d say so, except the glasses which were dirty, as usual for a Pasta beach), food was not good at all. Definitely would not recommend the bruschetta (just a dough which is served with a ton of tomatoes, not even baked, just super soggy).

We visited with friends for dinner and had a lovely evening. Lively atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommended.

Some of the most delicious gluten free pasta I have ever eaten. I had the creamy. mushroom pasta, which came as penne. Friendly and fast service - highly recommend.

We arrived on a Thursday night at 6 with no reservation. Wanted table for three and then added a fourth. In town for a conference, was told a half hour wait which was certainly reasonable. At 6:30 they had a table if we could be done in an hour. Worked perfectly for us as we had an evening event. We had checked out the menu so were able to order quickly. Food came piping hot. Three of us order the cacio de pepe and it was delicious. Fourth person order pizza which looked great and he said tasted great. Would go back again for sure.

Not good at all. First time I’ve had carbonara with a canned cheese sauce instead of cream-based. Margarita pizza was soggy. Plus, the server offered to split a plate for the kids and then charged $6. If you’re going to do that, tell customers up front and let them decide.

We were seated at a table with a reservation in one hour and 15 minutes which we felt was doable. But the service was horrible, no one even checking on us for 20 minutes when time was of the essence. our waitress would come over to the table next to us, who came in after us, and serve them and not even check on us. That table ordered and had their food before us. That table was automatically given bread with dipping oil; we had to ask. That table was given grated Parmesan without asking; we were not and had to ask 3 times for it. Drinks took forever to receive. The food was good, not exceptional but the poor service put a damper on the meal.

There was no AC in the restaurant and there was a hot pizza oven fired up. The server was slow to take our order and did not look to freshen drinks or ask if we needed anything. The drink was awful tasted like a pint of salt was poured in and when I told the server she didn’t offer a substitute or refund just “sorry”. The food was also not really good. We ordered and it arrived at the table in minutes which screams pre-cooked reheat in microwave. The buratta appetizer was ice cold which buratta is not supposed to be refrigerated like that. Lastly the bread they bring to the table is kept in an open basket on the counter where multitudes of people are walking by. Not very clean. Won’t go back and I don’t recommend to anyone who asks.

On a busy night without a reservation, the wait was reasonable for a Thursday evening. The wait staff was friendly , helpful and accommodating. The food was authentic,plentiful, and yummy. Would visit again.

Great spaghetti alle Vongole, bucatini cacio e Pepe and tuna tartar. Fabulous service! Highly recommended. Pizza looked great

I've been to Pasta Beach many times and I never fail to leave satisfied! The food is always great, good service, and an amazing atmosphere! It's always super clean and I love the area of Newport it's in. Parking can be a little difficult but...

Admittedly, only two of us actually had pasta in this restaurant. However the dishes we had were beautifully prepared, and the service was very friendly. This place is clearly popular. Accordingly, reservations are essential.

The restaurant was nice, the waitress was great and the pasta was good. However, we ordered a salad consisting of 2 stalks of romaine lettuce, roasted warm with bacon, onions and feta ($16!). The lettuce was full of dirt! From the stalk about 3 inches...

PB was on Bellevue and we had to walk up the hill (past At. Mary’s church) the Resturant is adorable. The staff friendly, we love Clare our server and the food was reasonably priced and good.

We just love Pasta Beach. Nice smaller restaurant with amazing bread, great food and desserts. Also very close within walking distance from Hotel Viking.

I ordered a pizza with sausage, told it would be ready in 15 minutes, 15 minutes later I picked it up, I was surprised that the pizza was right on the counter at the front desk, but thought no more about it. I learned soon...

I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. I sat at the bar and the staff was very attentive. Food was delicious and prices were reasonable. There are standard Italian dishes and specialty dishes that has a spin on it. I ordered the Bucatini Rughetta which had toasted...

My Family had a late lunch at Pasta Beach in Newport RI after a visit at Salve Regine College October28, 2021. The service, food, and atmosphere at this restaurant was sub par on this particular day. The Restaurant was highly recommended by the local college,...

Went to Pasta Beach for a quick bite for dinner on my last night in Newport. The place was PACKED! But I was able to get a seat at the bar with a very minimal wait and it was worth it! The pasta and clams...

A local recommended this place for dinner. We did not have reservation but got seated at bar. Bartenders were attentive to us. I had the bolognese which was excellent. My wife had spaghetti and meatballs which she enjoyed. Homemade bread was good. The highlight was...

Went twice to this place. A must for reservations. Healthy portions, and amazing tasting food! We had two meals bolognese style; salmon that was perfect and spaghetti with clams - super tasty!

I'm Italian and I get great Italian food back at home in norther NJ. So I'm not always anxious to try Italian restaurants away from home. However, the food here was fantastic. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Italian food.

Love all the all. Pasta Beaches - but this one in Newport saved the day. There are many over priced over rated restaurants in Newport and this one is not at. GREAT EVERYTHING!

Excellent food, upbeat feel, amazing service. Prices were right. Would return and definitely recommend. Family friendly.

Arrived for late lunch. Food was well prepared and very tasty. Our table ordered variety of things and all were a hit. Waitress made great wine suggestion which complimented the lunch. The restaurant has nice vibe. We stayed in Newport for a week and this...

To start the atmosphere at the place is great. The food was fantastic. The workers there are friendly. There was one bartender names Collin who was just so helpful and friendly. Price was on par.

The two of us were seated, and we were missing one place setting. The person seating us said she'd be right back with a setting. She never returned - and instead went back to the host station. We sat there for 10 - 15 minutes...

The caprese salad and the grilled salad were both good. The pizza was ehhh mostly crust. The pasta was delicious. The creme brulee was yummy. They have a great selection of drinks. Make sure you have reservations.

We went here without a reservation and sat at the counter. Best seat in the house! Great service from Janelle, delicious food and wine, and a view of the hard working chefs!

More than 3" high these sandwiches are huge and even more delicious. My wife and I had different ones: she had the ham & cheese nd I had the Pollo (Chicken). We could have easily split one. Panini was cut in half on each plate...

Happened upon Pasta Beach after touring the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport. Pretty little restaurant - charming and lively. Waitstaff friendly and efficient. Our paninis were delicious - the focaccia is made in house. Pretty good value for a big tourist town. We’d...

Great food. Pizza is amazing. Lopster ravioli amazing. Have been coming here for years during vacation always great food and service

Terrific find, just walking around. Wonderful lobster ravioli and other dishes. Fun drinks too. Sat at the bar cause we just walked, totally cool.

Pasta Beach came highly recommended, but did not live up to the reviews. We went for a late lunch, so can't blame the lack of service and cold food on the restaurant being busy. Things started bad when we ordered a bottle of wine and...

Pasta Beach is a local favorite and for good reason. As an Italian venue they stick to some basics especially with their pasta offerings. Spaghetti alle Vongole in Bianca is served loaded with clams (asari, I think), redolent with garlic and chili pepper. You shouldn’t...

We had lunch here on our last day in Newport because of all the great reviews. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. Let me start with the positives though. The staff was nice, especially our waitress Morgan. 5 stars for service because of her friendly and...

We stopped in for a nice Sunday lunch. We started by splitting the large garden salad, which was delicious. Our entrees (spaghetti with red clam sauce and pasta bolognese) were both delicious. They have gluten-free pasta. Service was great, as is the atmosphere.

We do really like the Del Povero pizza made by Gianluca. He really knows how to make us happy, with the pizza we always buy the bread that he makes during the day, what a treat, you can’t find anything like it in town.

Made a quick visit to Newport today with our family of 4. Chose to eat at Pasta Beach and we were not disappointed! When we stepped inside, the smell was amazing. We were seating quickly and spaced away from others due to Covid regulations. Our...

Small menu but worth worth it. Whether you are looking for a pizza or a larger meal you can not go wrong here. Their meat Rague is exceptional.

We wanted to grab a quick bite to take back to our hotel and this location was nearby so we ordered not really thinking it would be anything "gourmet". We were pleasantly surprised - the panini's were DELICIOUS - incredibly fresh ingredients, home made focaccia...

We ended up here because it was within short walking distance from our hotel and I’m glad we did. We ended up sitting on their back patio which was set up really cute. Luckily we were right next to the patio heater tho because it...

Popped in for a late lunch after touring the mansions and the Memorial Blvd. area. It looked like a Nice spot from the outside and it did not disappoint as the back patio seating was well done. The service was poor. Our waitress seemed put...

Good food. Nice outdoor patio. Portions were large enough for two meals. Service was great. Reasonably priced.

Went there with my girlfriend for my birthday. She ordered pasta with clams & a red sauce. The order came out with “imported” clams!! The menu didn’t say “imported “ clams!! You would think that in New England, you would get “native” clams!! We let...

We went to Past Beach last night to celebrate my Man's Birthday. I'm a Newport local and have enjoyed my experience in the past. My Pasta with Clams came with tiny imported clams rather than our lovely local clams that I could have gone out...

The service was TERRIBLE. This place has gone way down hill since May. Extremely rude and inexperienced staff. Food is hit or miss. I will not be getting takeout from there ever again. 1.5 hour wait for one plate of pasta. Staff did not care.

Great pasta and great service. Prices a bit out there and there could be a bit more creativity in the menu. WHERE IS THE FRESH PASTA??? Also a wait ? with a reservation?

Newport - Take out ordered 3 items: Bucatini Cacio de Pepe certainly it did not have enough sauce. Tagiatelle alla Bolognese I asked to sprinkle some Italian grated cheese on it and they said no it doesn't come with but for $2.50 I could add...

Can't really rate the ambiance but I can tell you that the pasta is incredible. Really fresh, tasty sauce and they take cleanliness seriously. We will definitely be eating here again once quarantine is over.

We had the pleasure to meet Gianluca that made us feel like family. His pizza is absolutely authentic, we were so pleased. We will be back!

We stopped into the Pasta Beach for our first visit on a chilly Monday for lunch. The ambiance of the restaurant was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed green salads with a great balsamic dressing, an delicious wood oven baked pizza and seafood pasta dish. We...

This is an Italian Restaurant that takes great pride in being Italian. Italian beer, entrees and desserts all speak Italian. Try the beer, Great!! I ordered a salad with my entrees and fresh, large and lots of greens. My lasagna was huge, fresh and delish....

Soooo good! Friends had eaten there the night before and said it was a must. We had lunch after walking the Cliff Walk so were nice and hungry. The food and service were both excellent!

Great location and welcoming ambiance and staff but I'm at a loss for its popularity. Consequently, take my review with a grain of salt as you may love it but my wife is of Italian heritage and makes wonderful authentic Italian food and what Pasta...

We recommended to go here by a lovely woman in the Marble House. I have a feeling a lot of locals go here. The food was delicious. Our waiter Paul was top notch. Great food, great atmosphere. What more do you want?!?

We went to Pasta Beach with visiting friends for the first time last night, it was an early dinner which allowed us to get seating quickly and waited on very promptly. Our order was taken promptly but we didn't feel rushed, the restaurant atmosphere was festive but not overly loud. Menu is varied and everyone should find something that they like with assurance that all dishes are made with fresh ingredients and the bread and pasta are made in house. Everything was delicious we will be back and I highly recommend Pasta Beach.

Lovely lunch at Pasta Beach. Molly was our server and she was sweet and accommodating. Food was outstanding. I had a delicious salad with grilled chicken and hubby had a sandwich on focaccia. The decor is really cool.

10 college friends in town for a wedding at Castle Hill Inn met for lunch and were delighted by the service, ambiance and outstanding meal. We kept it simple with salads, pizzas and antipastos! It was a delight!

Grabbed a quick early dinner and sat at the bar. Great atmosphere and experience. Bar service was quick and friendly. Food was good and simple. Recommended.

Hemos comido allí dos veces y me gustó lo suficiente la primera vez que volvemos. Descubrimos que el sitio web no siempre tiene el menú más actualizado publicado, por lo que si está decidido a algo, puede llamar con anticipación para asegurarse de que lo estén sirviendo. Los precios son razonables, buena ubicación en Bellevue lejos de las multitudes del puerto.

Feels like Italy Nice pizza and Italian appetizers Great decor Service sweet but like so many American restaurants.... Just a young person doing something that earns money-

Have been there few times and very impressed by the service food and drinks.

Stumbled across this restaurant while looking for a place for dinner. First off - the interior is lovely, so nice inside, great relaxed ambiance. We each ordered a fun drink of their specialty drink menus (sorry now can't remember the names) and they were amazing. I had the Chicken Milanese which came topped in a huge pile of greens and tomatoes, it was one of the best dinners I've had in a long while, so great! My husband thoroughly enjoyed his lasagna. We were saying it was too bad we didn't live in the area as if we did, this would be a regular spot for us. Such a great place!

the appetizer as seen on this page costs $22 but it feeds 6-8 people, make sure to ask them, if you are just two people (like us), wish we were told. But we took the left over back to the hotel for next day for lunch, ate like sandwiches.

We had a really nice evening here. The pasta was fresh and delicious. The carbonara and mushroom dishes were outstanding. Everyone loved their meals. Very good service. Nice decor. They have a patio in the back with a fireplace for warmth. We will definitely be back.

The place was empty when we arrived. The food was reasonable- we chose a veggie sandwich which was large and satisfying.

We were so torn about coming here because of the mixed reviews but we are so glad we did. My husband got the bolognese pasta and I got a pasta dish that was on the specials. The pasta was phenomenal. Best pasta i ever had. The homemade bread was to die for! Light and fluffy. Our waitress Emma was attentive and answered any questions we had about the menu. Do yourself a favor and don’t listen to negative reviews. If we are back in Newport ever, we will definitely return!

Introduced by friends - our first visit. And the recent opening of their back outdoor patio.

Pasta Beach provides a warm, hospitable venue to enjoy some outstanding northern italian cuisine. Food is great, prices are reasonable given the locale. It can be a bit noisy at times. However, that noise you hear is conviviality.

We were in town for 2 days, under the front desk suggestion we ended up at pasta beach. We were considering to get just a quick salad; when we walked in we had the pleasure to meet Gianluca, italian like us, he was right at the entrance making pizza. He found for us a spot at the bar, he did take good care of us, we ended up eating Margerita pizza and Del Povero pizza, absolutely delicious.

Ambiente accogliente ed informale. Una delle migliori pizze che abbia mai mangiato. Ingredienti di qualità.

Bellissimo locale curato nei dettagli. Personale cordiale, porzioni molto abbondanti e soprattutto buone! Ottima la pizza, per chi vuole mangiare la vera pizza italiana!

The food was just ok. The service was rushed and almost rude. We were eating and they came and asked us if we want dessert menu. Clearly we went not done with dinner. I do not see what the hype is about this place.

Put a phone call in, make sure Gianluca is there and you will get one of the best Italian pizza in Newport RI! What a great asset for pasta beach! We keep coming back just because of him!

The food was very mediocre... we were there a year ago and thought it was better. Swordfish was fishy. Raspberry mousse had freezer burn taste. Service was fine. Pasta good. Maybe it’s just a place to get your carbs on.

Very poor service. Pasta & minced meat is NOT sphagetti bolognese. No calzone. Table not available after booking in advance. Had to sit outside in the dark no candles. No bread & olives despite ordering 3 times. Server expected 20% why? When service is so poor.

I'm still not sure this place was worth the 1.5 hour wait or the price. The service was fast, but the pesto sauce for the amount of the pasta that they gave you had way too much, and the calzone was nearly burnt on the outside and cold in the middle.

Dinner with family, all around the pasta dishes were cooked perfectly al dente. Even plain the pasta was tasty. Broccoli rabe pesto was very flavorful. Pizza was very good, thin crust type which we enjoy. Place is crowded and a bit noisy so not necessarily a romantic place but for good pasta, pizza and drinks make a reservation and enjoy.

Pasta Beach is a beautiful designed restaurant with outdoor seating. My husband and I decided to stop for lunch and Pasta Beach did not disappoint. Our server Liz Maher was excellent and always with a smile. The bolognese and clique terre were excellent and Liz recommended the tiramisu for dessert. It was great to have a waitress with such a winning personality and attention to detail.

My wife and I had lunch at this pleasant pasta and pizza place. The locale is airy and bright. The pizza was yummy while the pasta was a little undercooked. The service was fast and pleasant.

Fui allí con mi esposo, mi hija de 11 años y su amiga. Pusimos nuestros nombres para una mesa y mientras tanto tomábamos una copa en el bar. Luego, el camarero nos dijo que tardaríamos una eternidad en conseguir una mesa, así que nos sentamos en el bar (2 adultos y 2 niños). Le dije: siempre que esté de acuerdo con eso. . . . De todos modos, para el aperitivo pedimos el Tomate Bruschetta, que era excelente, y tuve Spaghetti Carbonara (¡me encanta!) Y mi esposo tenía Tagliatelle con Funghi, ambos platos eran realmente buenos. La Carbonara se hizo a la manera italiana real (sin crema, solo yemas de huevo) y el plato de Funghi era cremoso y muy sabroso. . . Podrías probar los champiñones frescos. Los niños recibieron pizza de Pepperoni y no se vieron decepcionados en absoluto. Hablé con un chico a mi lado y me dijo que este era el mejor lugar para comer italiano. . . ¡Y él era de Italia! Lo recomiendo encarecidamente, no parece muy apetecible desde fuera, pero tiene un ambiente divertido por dentro. ¡Pulgares hacia arriba!

Bad place to eat. A factory of fast food. Frozen meat and fish. Watched it being cooked. Will never go back

Hoy fui a Pasta Beach y tuve una experiencia muy agradable. La sensación hogareña y el hermoso ambiente me hicieron sentir como en casa. La camarera me recibió con una sonrisa cálida y una actitud relajada pero llena de vida. Ella dijo que se llamaba Sara y me agradeció por cenar en Pasta Beach. Después de que ella había tomado mi bebida, profesionalmente me preguntó si estaba lista para ordenar y que lo estaba. Después de terminar mi comida, le pedí que estrechara su mano como señal de agradecimiento, ella cumplió felizmente y se sorprendió por la sugerencia que dejé.

My wife and I took our daughter and her crew into Pasta Beach for lunch and had a really nice experience. That isn’t guaranteed when you have four boys ranging in age from 7 to 12, with various likes and dislikes. We split some items, including pizza, calzones, pasta dishes, and salads, and everyone had something they liked. Our server was friendly and efficient and we told her we would ask for her when we go back.

Very slow service to start off. Expensive cocktails with minimal alcohol. My calzone arrived BURNT! My daughter got pasta w a cream sauce and ground up sausage which was very good. Expensive and disappointing lunch for me. $50 bill and left hungry

הגענו קבוצה גדולה, לקח לאוכל זמן להגיע..

I love the fresh pasta here! The pizza is also amazing. I got the Margaret’s pizza and it was big enough to share

Después de haber vivido en el sur de Jersey durante más de 25 años, tengo especial interés en mis restaurantes italianos. La comida en Pasta Beach no estaba entre las mejores que había tenido. Mi jamón y setas calzone estaban perfectamente bien preparados pero no sobresalían del resto. Nuestra camarera, sin embargo, fue amable y servicial.

IMO, this restaurant is not all it is hyped up to be. Service was lacking, the restaurant was so noisy and everything seemed rushed. Focaccia was buried in rosemary. Bolognese had no red sauce. Server said it was more traditional and said we could have a side order of sauce when I ordered but I didn’t realize it wouldn’t be in a red sauce. When the dish arrived and I said something, the server was a bit rude about it. I’ve never had bolognese sauce like that before so I was a bit surprised when it arrived. Also, i’m full Italian and have had this dish countless times. To say I was disappointed with the food and service is an understatement.

We had a large party of 15 for dinner to celebrate my husbands birthday. No one left hungry in fact most left with leftovers. The Stella pizza appetizer was huge and great to share. The baked eggplant was huge and yummy. The spaghetti with shrimp was amazing. The pizzas were loaded with tons of toppings.

Everything is delicious- wonderful food, good wine and great service! What more could you ask for, I will definitely be back whenever I am in town.

Relaxed atmosphere. Interesting combination of family friendly and Newport chic. We ordered a great marinara and spaghetti. Simple and classic. In addition we had a great chicken Milanese and our server was top notch. Highly recommend.

Ate dinner again at Pasta Beach with friends, another good experience.
